What is the National Tutoring Programme (NTP)?

It's a grant that schools can spend on targeted academic support to help narrow the attainment gap.

You’re expected to prioritise disadvantaged and vulnerable pupils, but you have the flexibility to decide which pupils need the most support. See more about how to prioritise pupils below.
